I am working on a new arc, just started it really, and I am working on the description of one of the contacts. When I click the "save and continue" button, I get this message:
"Save Failed. Custom Character was not valid. Invalid description. HTML Tags were detected in the character description."
Here is the text of the description:

"Cameron Pierce is an experienced cop, but he is new to the PPD. He recently left the area of upstate New York where he was a 10 year veteran of the Organized Crime Task Force. Rumor has it that he was granted a transfer in order to protect him from vengeful elements from one of the gangs that he investigated. As usual, Cameron is refusing to comment on the circumstances surrounding his move.
He is tough, sarcastic and experienced. While they may not like his attitude, the brass finds it difficult to complain about his results."

I have tried re-writing it at least 6 times, I can see no area where I have included anything objectionable, or anything related to HTML tags. Any help offered is appreciated.

I had the same problem. I took out the places where I hit <ENTER> to get a new line in the text box and that seemed to fix the problem.
Newlines in the Character descriptions are translated to HTML <BR> (break) tags. This is what's throwing the error.
So... until this gets fixed... don't use carriage returns in character descriptions.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
thanks for the help, got it fixed now
Anyone notice the player BIO is also busted the same way now? It doesn't throw this save error, but it does delete all your carriage returns.
This, of course, runs all your paragraphs together in one giant mess. And if you have a little funny table or list in your BIO, heaven help you.
If you already had CRs in your BIO, it will continue to display. Just DO NOT OPEN UP THE ID PAGE or it will re-save and remove your CRs.
My main's lovely humorous story is now a POS, thanks.
